New Godzilla Toys Are Ready to Invade Your Living Room And Stomp Your Toes

We've interviewed the director the new Godzilla film, Gareth Edwards, to try to get some intel about the monster's return. Today we look at another source: What do Bandai America's new line of Godzilla toys tell us about Legendary Pictures' upcoming movie?

Godzilla 2-Packs

Awwww, look at the cute wittle kaiju, presented here in the increasingly popular "Chibi" style. Neither Godzilla nor his new movie nemeses—the mysterious Mutos—have ever looked cuter. Bandai's 2-Packs come with either Godzilla and a winged Mutos, or a "battle-scarred" Godzilla with an eight-legged Mutos. Seeing Godzilla in this sorry state tells us that the Mutos won't be pushovers in the film.

Godzilla Fighting Figures

Don't get your hopes up for these two rowdy reptiles. Bandai America's "Tail-Strike" Godzilla and his brawling brother, "Smash Strike" Godzilla, could barely fight their way out of their own cardboard boxes, much less go toe-to-toe with radiation-hungry Mutos. Pushing buttons hidden in their tummies and tails, respectively, triggers something more akin to a seizure than a "strike."
